    Our fifth Luminary release of the year is a spontaneously inoculated Porter, first brewed in September of 2020. The base of the beer is batch sixteen of Werewolves of Cambridge, our roast-forward, chocolatey Porter brewed with English pale malt and a wide range of crystal malts. In October 2020, this Ale was racked into a collection of third-use Buffalo Trace Bourbon barrels and allowed to spontaneously inoculate with wild yeasts and bacteria living naturally in the air, walls, and wood at our barrel warehouse. The result is a tantalizing combination of tart, earthy, funky, and roasty - a tannin-forward, dry, strong, and undeniably wild ale.
